I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Provo, UT) in May 2023
Interview
The interview is a three part process. First they have you do a call with on of their financial advisors just to get to know you some. Then you meet with whoever is in charge of the branch and go over what would required at the job and if you would be excited to work there. They'll give you a packet to gauge your ability to network and find clients (seeing as this is a commission based job), and then set up a third interview. At the third interview they go over who you were able to network with and how it felt. Once you feel confident and they are feeling good about hiring, you'll talk more in depth about compensation and go more in depth about working there.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Chicago, IL) in Feb 2025
Interview
The interview process was not that professional. It was basically a sales pitch why you should join their company. They said that you didn't need any prior financial knowledge despite it being a finance role. They claimed that they will teach you everything you will need to be an expert which doesn't make sense when people like me are in school for a finance degree.

I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Brookfield, WI)
Interview
Three rounds of interviews, increasing intensity. I didn't really have too much of an issue with it, but based on what I've read about the company, I made sure that there weren't any major red flags throughout the interview process.
